Wander On Over to Wanee

This dreary, cold winter gave way to some warmer weekend weather, so we took advantage of the opportunity with a short distance trip.  It was just what we needed.

On the way to the campsite, we stopped by Carroll's Sausage in Sylvester to pick up some meat for the grill; a couple of hours later those steaks & baked potatoes were quite delicious! Just a few miles north of town on Highway 112, we found our spot.  Wanee Lake Golf and RV Resort, Ashburn, GA.

We had no idea what to expect, and it seemed a bit corny to camp so close to home at Turner County's country club.  Fortunately, we were pleasantly surprised.

A few wintering couples in their home-on-wheels and a few unoccupied rigs inhabited the campground, which was located just off the fairway.  The locals filled the clubhouse on a Friday night.

A leisurely breakfast gave way to a shower, and I headed off to Tifton to a Saturday afternoon "Meet the New Husband" tea to visit with a cousin, leaving Jamie alone at the resort.  Later, he shared he'd walked down to the lake, caught a fish, and taken in some much-needed sunshine; I couldn't resist having him accompany me Sunday along the same path. The weather was just perfect for a lakeside stroll.

Saturday evening, we ventured over to Lake Blackshear by invitation and joined family dockside in watching the South Carolina election results, hashing out the pros and cons of our favorite candidates.

The International Space Station also made a flight path across the evening sky; we two nerds insisted on the party viewing the spectacle with us.  Terrific view!  The clouds cooperated.  Are we really the only folks who track the ISS?

In no hurry to return home, we lingered later on Sunday than usual.  How nice!  Just a bit of warmth and sunshine lifted our spirits.

We're ready to go again - anywhere - anytime - soon.
